Fang Shi looked at the number on his mobile phone, it was an unfamiliar number, but he hesitated for a moment and picked it up, as soon as he heard the voice on the phone, Fang Shi probably guessed what was going on.
Fang Shi said wait, stood up and walked to the courtyard, muttered to the Azure Dao Chief, and then walked back with a smile, seeing everyone looking at him, Fang Shi said with a smile: "The Azure Dao Master of the Songfeng Temple said that he wanted to go to the village to do a Dharma tomorrow. ”
"Oh."
Xia Yuxin responded casually, as if she didn't care much about this, and Fang's mother looked at her eldest son curiously, feeling that her son seemed to be becoming more and more mysterious, but she didn't think there was anything wrong with her son like this, but she was still a little proud, after all, her son was out, although this was completely different from what she imagined.
Fang Lei asked curiously: "Brother, is that the broken Taoist temple on the top of the West Mountain?" How do you know the Taoists there? ”
Fang Shi sat back on the stool, picked up the bowl again, and replied casually: "I met by chance, the last time the god tree was sealed by this Azure Dao master, and now that the tree god is troubled, he naturally can't stay out of it." ”
"Could it be that there really is a tree god?"
Fang Shi took a bite of food, chewed hard, and said a little vaguely: "If you believe it, you don't believe it, whether you don't believe it, whether you have gods and ghosts or not." People still need to have some awe. The province does not know how to make trouble everywhere. ”
Yao Yingxue let out a rare laugh in front of everyone. Zhang Qiaoyin also glanced at Fang Lei, Fang's mother looked at her youngest son suspiciously, Fang Lei was scolded by his brother with a gun and arrows, and he was secretly annoyed, but he didn't dare to argue with him, for fear of being involved in his stinky affair in the mountain city, and it would not be as simple as being scolded at that time.
Yao Yingxue saw Fang Lei deflated, snickered for a while, and then relieved him: "Big brother." Is the god of the tree really going to do it? ”
"There are always only people who do trouble, how can a tree do it?"
Fang Shi replied with a smile, looking up and saying, "Tomorrow, everyone will go and see who is doing it." ”
"Brother, what do you mean? Could it be that someone is deliberately trying to reap the benefits of this? ”
Fang Shi nodded noncommittally and said: "Tomorrow I will naturally know the Dao, some things have to be seen with your own eyes to see clearly, just listening to others may not be able to get the truth." ”
"Oh." Fang Lei responded, and inevitably felt a little dissatisfied with his brother's betrayal.
"Oh, I'm full, Auntie, I'm afraid I'll get fat if I eat like this every day."
Xia Yuxin didn't seem to have any interest in this topic, and took advantage of the Fang Shi brothers to speak. She had filled her stomach and pushed the bowl down. Exhaled contentedly, patted his stomach without any image and complained to Fang's mother.
Fang's mother smiled happily: "It's good to be fat, it's good to be fat." ”
Xia Yuxin grinned and was about to speak, when a voice suddenly sounded outside the room.
"the rocks, are you at home?"
"Where are you? And here it is. ”
Fang Lei moved quickly, held his mother down, and ran to open the door by himself.
"Uncle Hong Xi? How did you get here? Have you eaten it, or will you make a bite of life at my house? ”
"I've eaten, I've eaten, Xiao Lei came back so early this year, is your mother there?"
"It's all here, what's wrong?"
Fang Shi listened to the voices of the two and slowly walked towards the hall from the courtyard, exchanging a knowing look with Xia Yuxin, Zhang Qiaoyin's disgust was undisguised, and Fang's mother looked at Fang Shi with an inquiring gaze.
Fang Shi smiled at his mother and said in a low voice: "Mom, when I come, you just listen, he is here to find me." ”
Fang's mother was a little worried, Xia Yuxin leaned into Fang's mother's ear and whispered something, Fang's mother smiled and nodded, her expression was really relaxed, Fang Shi gave Xia Yuxin an appreciative look, and at this time Fang Lei and Fang Hongxi had already entered the hall.
"Oh, it's not a coincidence, I'm disturbing your family's dinner."
Zhang Qiaoyin rolled her eyes and muttered in a low voice, "Do you know that Dao is still bothered?" ”
Xia Yuxin chuckled, Fang Hongxi laughed dryly, as if he hadn't heard, he walked to the stove and sat down, threw a few peanuts and roasted them on the edge of the kettle, and didn't see anything at all.
"Brother and sister, the surname of this Shixi Village is a big surname, no matter what, it can be regarded as a relative, a family, right?"
Fang's mother smiled and said, "If the village chief has something to say, just say it." ”
Fang Hongxi smiled: "Then I'll say it directly, my brother and sister have also seen today's incident, officially, I can't say anything about the gods, but I also know in my heart that this kind of thing is not the first time in our village." To be honest, my brother didn't agree to sell the Divine Tree before, but who knew that such a thing would happen to Lu Dao, and now he was also frightened and never said anything against it again. In fact, I am also embarrassed as the village head, people pay such a high price, how many people in the village staring at the money with green eyes, but there are also many people who oppose it, and I am also very uncomfortable being caught in the middle. ”
Fang Shi put down the bowl and turned to look at Fang Hongxi, and took the conversation: "Then what does Uncle Hongxi mean?" To sell or not to sell? ”
"I didn't say whether it must be sold or not, I have to listen to the villagers, hehe, you also said yesterday that this tree is related to the century-old luck of Shixi Village, and it will be sold for 600 million, but everyone knows that luck is false, and the money is real, even if I believe in the stone, but the people in the village may not be willing to believe it, and when the time comes, the villagers will say that I have gained benefits and blocked everyone's financial path, so why should I bother?"
"Six billion? That old locust tree? Brother, are you really here? ”
"What, do you have an opinion?"
Fang Shi turned his head to look at Fang Lei with a smile, Fang Lei's heart suddenly suddenly, and he quickly shook his head: "No." No. Just a little surprised. But this old locust tree, oh no, it should be a tree god, if this tree god is related to the luck of Shixi Village for a hundred years, it is not much if it is six billion, not much, hehe"
Fang Shi grinned at Fang Hongxi: "Uncle Hongxi, look." My brother also thinks so, of course, we are also a family, and it only represents our family, if the people in the village feel that they should be sold, then sell it, anyway, the bad luck has nothing to do with us, it's a big deal I will take my mother to Pengcheng to live, Uncle Hong Xi, you say yes. ”
Fang Hongxi laughed dryly. I can't answer that.
"Stone, six billion is really a lion's mouth. What do you think in your heart, can you give your uncle a thorough explanation, and I can also go and discuss with others, right? ”
Fang Shi smiled coldly: "Uncle Hong Xi, if you want to ask me about this, I still say the same thing, it's okay to sell the tree with six billion yuan." Then again, Uncle Hong Xi, why should you care about my opinion, I can't represent anyone, let alone influence anyone's thoughts. ”
"Hehe, you forgot the stone, the Azure Dao Master said that if you agree to sell it, he will not object."
Fang Hongxi looked at Fang Shi with a smile, Fang Shi shook his head and said, "Uncle Hong Xi, that's just the statement of the Azure Daoist, maybe it's just a pretext, does he need my consent to do it?" And my opinion is already very clear, is there anything else Uncle Hong Xi doesn't understand? ”
"You mean you don't agree to sell trees, do you?"
"Yes, I don't agree with selling trees, but this is my personal opinion, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
Fang Hongxi looked at Fang Shi with complicated eyes, he felt a headache, Fang Shi seemed to have seen through his plan, and would never give himself a chance to put the responsibility of preventing the sale of trees and blocking people's wealth on his head, on the contrary, if Fang Shi's six billion yuan was sold, it would definitely make him very passive, and sell it at a low price, the people in the village would definitely say that he had swallowed the big head, but six billion was simply impossible!
This young man is really difficult, he squeezed himself into a blind corner with a single sentence, is it possible that he will be so powerful when he goes to college?
"Oh, by the way, what's going on with my Uncle Hong Sheng?"
Fang Shi easily changed the topic, but the expression on his face was a little interesting, Fang Hongxi's heart was even more empty, thinking of Fang Shi's idea at that time, he seemed to have seen through his trick a long time ago, the more Fang Hongxi thought about it, the more he felt that it made sense.
"Hong Sheng is fine, after sleeping and waking up, he is like a normal person, and the big mouth was like this last time, so I think this tree god may be real"
"Uncle Hong Xi, don't you believe in ghosts? If you use this reason, it will inevitably be criticized, and it will not sound good. ”
Fang Hongxi laughed dryly, and couldn't find the right words for a while, this matter can be said by others, but Fang Hongxi can't say it, Fang Hongxi regretted it a little, he should have found someone else today, it was definitely wrong to come by himself.
"That's okay, I understand, then I won't disturb your family reunion, brother and sister, then I'll go back first."
"Village chief, you can leave now, you haven't even taken a sip of tea."
"No, no, the villagers, do you need to be so polite, come and talk to your two sons another day, the young people are terrible now, brother and sister, you have raised two good sons, haluha"
After Fang Hongxi finished speaking, he stood up and patted his clothes, and walked away with his sleeves and hands.
As a representative, Fang Lei sent the village chief to the door and closed the door by the way.
Zhang Qiaoyin frowned and thought for a long time, and asked puzzledly, "Brother, what is this old fox doing?" Just to say these few words? ”
Xia Yuxin smiled and replied first: "He is here to test, he wants to see if Fang Shi is good to bully, if he is good to bully, he will guide the villagers who want to sell trees to put pressure on Fang Shi, and then force Fang Shi to retreat, as soon as Fang Shi retreats, the Azure Dao Chief has nothing to say, it seems that now the villagers are inclined to sell trees, so the biggest obstacle is the Azure Dao Chief, and the Azure Dao Chief gave this unjust head to Fang Shi." ”
When everyone heard Xia Yuxin say this, they all looked at Fang Shi worriedly, and Fang Shi said with a smile: "I didn't stop the sale of the tree, it's just that the sale is a little expensive, and you forgot that the Azure Dao Master will come to do the blessing ceremony tomorrow?" ”
"It's strange, didn't he put the blame on you before, why did he change his mind now? Dressed up in battle yourself? ”
Fang Lei asked curiously.
"It's very simple, in the final analysis, does it have more to do with us or not to sell this tree?"
Everyone was stunned. (To be continued......)
